this is an easy fold.
you should being playing mid pocket pairs for four card straights, and little else.
anyone who starts overplaying sets heads up is destined to go broke and quickly.

... either he's dumb, or he picked up a tell and wanted the whole table to know how good at reading people he was by showing the 7's face up. Which is still dumb. so he's dumb, on to the next hand.

If you laid this down, stop playing poker right now, or tell me which site you play on and I'll play you heads up all day(riverboat). I agree with "if you fold here on this flop then why would u play 77 in the first place."

However, since this is supposedly a "sick" laydown, and dude had you beat, well, more power to you, but I still think its weak/tight, and I'd still love to play your friend all day every day.

Folding preflop is okay to start with, and much better if you are folding floping a set.

maybe you should take a break from poker and work on your sarcasm detection skills tiger.

Re: sickest laydown ever
 

Also, my general policy is to go broke here, and I have many times, but it is totally possible for a situation to occur where this is a very easy fold.

Re: sickest laydown ever
 

Two ideas.

1. Button wants donk to stay in the game, and also wants to make a "Hellmuth" style laydown faceup to encourage the other players to attempt to bully him around, so instead of calling and probably busting the donk, and possibly causing him to leave, he folds faceup.

2. Similar to 1, but maybe donk and button are friends, and button folds faceup to again encourage the table to attempt to run him over when he has a big hand (only, of course, he won't fold next time).

I was watching UB 50/100 NL recently, a heads-up pot, pot was $1800. Flop was JJ6. First to act bets pot ($1800), other player moves all-in for around $8000, first to act folds and shows J9. Thought it was a crazy laydown, then I noticed they were both from Norway. I think that was proabably an example of #2.

folding bottom set on that board at hollywood park is the right move approximately 0% of the time...
